1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Property tax
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
At my house, many years ago.
3. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Watching the maid clean my house. ;)
4. How many colleges did you attend?
Six now, including the "continuing education" classes to renew my certification.
5. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
Because it's nice enough to wear in public but well-worn enough to cover in filth. It says "Ms. Firecracker" with stylized fireworks behind it.
6. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
I feel bad for neighbors who must travel farther for the ever-so-scarce jobs, as it decreases the amount they bring home. I've already made changes to my lifestyle, so I fill up only twice a month.
7. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
"Oh, did I leave that on?"
8. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
"Why is that cricket right outside the bedroom window?"
9. Do you miss being a child?
Sometimes. I miss all the elderly people who've since died. I don't miss the vulnerability or the lack of privacy.
10. What errand/chore do you despise?
Remaking the bed, as all the different parts have to be laundered separately.
11. Get up early or sleep in?
Get up early usually, but sleeping in lately.
12. Have you found real love yet?
No.

Corned beef, which I almost never have.
14. What do you get every time you go to the supermarket?
vegetables
15. Beach or lake?
Lake
16. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
No. I *do* think that too many people treat it as a passing fancy.

Neither.
18. What famous person/people would you like to have dinner with?

21. Ring tone?
Old-fashioned ring on my Nokia.
22. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
While standing in Lake Superior.
23. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go to?
I would like to see Gilroy and the wine country.

Relationship. My career and its environment are changing, interesting.

The Warner Brothers cartoons and the like.
29. What about you do you think has changed the most?
I'm no longer naive and easily led astray.
30. Looking back at high school were they the best years of your life?
